There Was No Vanity In Lucifer
When He stood by God's throne,
there was no vanity in Lucifer:
beautiful, graceful and trusted...
he kept Heaven bright with a light
of purity, all angels admired him;
and that was before, until he was hurled
down to earth for his loathsome rebellion.
No other angel of the three Heavens
resembled him in beauty and character;
God gave him extraordinary handsomeness,
and that imposed power over the others...
we'll never know the purpose of his creation,
perhaps God wanted to test him for his loyalty.
Eventually, he fell and became Satan;
his smile of grace turned into grin,
then he rebelled against the Almighty
and corrupted many angels' minds,
so they became the army of Hell.
And there he waits for the fallen ones,
who like him have rebelled and disobeyed;
if among you there's a vanitous one
who thinks he can be higher than God,
turn away from him...his reign will be brief.
